So not so smart me added some algae to my tank for my tangs to eat that I had bought from a LFS and now my 2 tangs have what I am 99% sure is ICH. Which really irritates me b/c I have never had ich or anything else like it in any of my tanks before.

Anyway... I am going to set up either a 75 or 125 for a QT. I have 3 larger fish so which tank would be better to go with? My fish stock list includes a 6" blue hippo, a 5" 2-barred rabbit fish, a 3" Achilles tang, a pair of Flame wrasses, a Melanurus wrasse, and a pair of tomato clowns.

Also can I remove my protein skimmer from my display and use it on the QT? With no fish I would think my LR could handle the bio-load of the corals.

I was planning on treating with Formilin is this a good method. Also If I were to do a 100% water change on my DT could I re-introduce the fish back sooner?

Thanks Gina

You should use Cupramine in your QT....
